What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "CCP Fentanyl Sanctions Act," authorizes the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons involved in the production or distribution of illicit synthetic narcotics through the People's Republic of China. It targets activities in China, Hong Kong, and Macau that contribute to the international proliferation of these drugs or their production means. The President is empowered to block transactions and property interests of entities such as ports, ships, online marketplaces, and government entities involved in these activities. The Act also allows for financial sanctions against foreign financial institutions that facilitate transactions for sanctioned persons. Furthermore, it maintains existing sanctions provided for in Executive Order 14059.
